Docker run config used

transmission-openvpn: build: ./build/transmission container_name: transmission-openvpn networks: intranet: ipv4_address: xxxx dns: - 10.0.20.2 environment: - "PUID=1000" - "PGID=10000" - "OPENVPN_PROVIDER=IPVANISH" - "OPENVPN_CONFIG=ipvanish-CA-Montreal-yul-c24" - "OPENVPN_USERNAME=xxxx" - "OPENVPN_PASSWORD=xxxx" - "OPENVPN_OPTS=--reneg-sec 300 --ping 10 --ping-restart 60" - "WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false" - "LOCAL_NETWORK=xxxx" - "CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=false" - "TZ=xxxx" cap_add: - NET_ADMIN devices: - "/dev/net/tun" logging: driver: json-file options: max-size: 10m volumes: - xxxx depends_on: - xxxx restart: unless-stopped

Current Behavior

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/ipvanish/ipvanish-XXXX.ovpn:15: keysize (2.6.12)

Expected Behavior

This "keysize" option is part of all IPVanish config files, I'm not sure why OpenVPN doesn't just ignore is instead of crashing.

How have you tried to solve the problem?

• I have solved the problem adding: - "OPENVPN_OPTS=--ignore-unknown-option keysize"
• A permanent solution would be to add all the deprecated option in the config mod in https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/blob/master/openvpn/modify-openvpn-config.sh for the openvpn option in the current release.
• An other option would be to add an environment variable with options we want to ignore.
• This ignore-unknown-option should be added to the docs. It was hard to find how to ignore a configuration in the openvpn docs.

Log output

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/ipvanish/ipvanish-XXXX.ovpn:15: keysize (2.6.12)
